Ordered a white Cochin for my daughter. Pretty sure she's not going to be white.
Thoughts?

I should have just ordered a leghorn. Lol

Could be a splash, maybe?
I love all the colors...except white lol.
They seem like they’re bright targets for predators to me.

I didn't want a white bird either, but Dolly has her heart set on one. She was planning to name her Snowball, now she's decided on Puffball and still wants a white bird if this one turns out non-white.

She doesn’t care what breed it is?
Just white, huh?
There’s a lot of really cool breeds that come in white.
Rocks, Marans, and Sultans are really cool.

No, she doesn't care. I just like cochins and since we already have some, I picked a Cochin. She's all set to wait it out and has now decided the name is Mrs. Puff. Kids.

The love that name for a Cochin!
I have 3 bantam Cochins named Frodo, Pippin & Cricket.

What is the faverolles name?

Which one is the faverolle? I can't believe I don't know what kind of chickens I have...

 

[llombardo]

I think I think the one is partridge brahma and it's a faverolle? She has the blue/gray streaking which matched the partridge brahma.

So she is a faverolle? I'm pretty sure she has 4 toes versus 5 thst faverolle a have. Woukd that be an indicator? Now I have to go home and count toes. She is a very sweet girl.

so far my 7 year old has named: Adventure, Fighter, Sweetheart, Little Bit, and Sister Dorking (who is the sister Silver Gray Dorking to Little Bit).
I have named the polish Eggy Pop, and the Cochins FiFi and Henrietta.

we are still arguing over who gets to name the rest.
